If you ever read the classic Claremont/Byrne X-Men stuff, then you'll love this book! The X-Men have sucked for the most part these last 15 years and its so refreshing to have an X-Book on the shelves again that I run to get gleefully like I used to as a kid! Click here to get the collected Astonishing X-Men!

Yeah, GOD LOVES, MAN KILLS is a great read. I didn't see it on Amazon, which is why I didn't list it. Is it out of print? Surely Marvel would have reprinted it when X-Men 2 (movie) came out????

I don't think the Original Genosha storyline has been printed yet, but they should be easy enough to find in the back issue bins of a comic book shop at relatively affordable prices. They are UNCANNY X-MEN #235-238. Pics of covers are available here: http://www.comics.org/covers.lasso?seriesID=2605&skip=50&show=50

There ARE some "God Loves, Man Kills" on Amazon, but are used and apparently "rare", so they are expensive ($30).

Also, they have listed "X-Treme X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills".... DO NOT BUY THAT!!! It is actually a "sequel" of sorts and really stupid. It's a collection of stories from "X-Treme X-Men" a short lived monthly title. It is NOT Uncanny X-Men. Buyer beware.
